The Perry Street Shakedown is yet another local music festival, but it’s important to take advantage of the outdoor opportunity while you still can, before winter hits. This festival is essentially the South Perry District’s answer to Elkfest: It’s free, all-ages and includes local and West Coast talent. Friday, the first-time festival lineup includes local acts Lavoy, Real Life Rockaz and Folkinception, and ends with blues-rock act Scott Pemberton Trio out of Portland. Saturday, expect local bands Big Red Barn and Flying Spiders, and also Blind Willies, out of San Francisco, and Five Alarm Funk from Vancouver, B.C. The event will naturally include fine selections from Perry Street Brewing Co.
